'I'm in a hurry to get things done, I rush and rush until life's no one.
All I gotta do is live and die, but I'm in a hurry and don't know why.'
This song keeps playing in my head. Because I feel rushed all the time. And just like Alabama 'I don't know why'.
It's not like the dirty laundry will get impatient and leave our house in a huff if I don't do it today. And no one is going to take my dinner away from me, if it takes me longer than 60 seconds to clear my plate.
I've considered tying myself to a chair, so I would háve to sit quietly for a while. But of course we didn't have any rope. So I wanted to rush to the store to get me some, but tripped over the cat.
That worked too.
I'm in a hurry

I am constantly in a hurry myself... I don't know why either...but as I watch my itty bitty baby turn into a rumbustious little toddler... I realize I have to let it all soak in a bit..and not let time pass us by. Great to see your blog! Yeay for the sits girls for allowing me to make a new bloggy friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! I\\\'m going to have to look up that song… and watch out for cats (or dogs). xo ~kim
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA This so sounds like me...and had me giggling like crazy reading it!
ReplyDeleteI'm having one of those days where I don't know if I'm coming or going, so this really gave me a smile!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog through the SITS comment love challenge! I can see by your recent posts list that I have some new "Must Reads" on my list!
I love that Alabama song. It reminds me of riding in the car with my mother. She loved Alabama, I thinks we probably wore out the cassette tape!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I'm always in a rush either. I need to remember to take life slower, there are very few things in life that will implode if I'm a few minutes late!
Stopping in from the SITS Girls comment challenge. Meditation is a great way to slow down.
ReplyDeleteI've had days like this. Right now I have the "Everything is Awesome" song from the LEGO movie going thru my head. It's catchy and I can't stop humming and signing bits and pieces. You mentioned laundry walking out the door. OMG, that would be awesome. It can find someone out there that wants to do it and then come back all clean and refreshed... I guess everything is awesome... Sorry, had to go there. :)
ReplyDeleteHe he...I used to have days like that. Now I really try to remember that life is a journey not a race. Hope tomorrow is less hectic for you.
ReplyDeleteNow I definitely have that song in my head! I was just thinking about this - I'm not sure why I feel rushed sometimes. For the most part, I set my own schedule and days (praise the Lord!) so I need to be more relaxed. Thanks for the reminder - and the great song! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, and I can totally relate!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I JUST said a similar thing in my blog post yesterday! I can be SO lazy, but at the same time, I have such a hard time just sitting still and just "being in the moment". I'm constantly thinking of what I want/need to do next...it never ends.
ReplyDeleteI love that song. I just wish I didn't live that song as much as I do. Thanks for sharing! Good luck relaxing :)
ReplyDeleteI know the "hurry" feeling. Nice Alabama reference!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know there's a 'way out' Raquel. How did you turn things around?
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile! I'm going to look up the LEGO song! I could use a catchy tune.
ReplyDeleteI know, but you have to sit still to do it. And therein lies the problem...
ReplyDeleteWelcome Marie! I look forward to seeing you again on Momfever!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle! I'm going out for a run. So hopefully that will help me to sit down!
ReplyDeleteYes that's what I do too. And I know that if I stay in my seat, my mind wil quiet down. But it's so hard to stay seated until that happens!
ReplyDeleteYes it's odd how rushed one can feel, without any obvious reason. It must be the times we live in!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it brings back lovely memories. Music can do that!
ReplyDeleteLOL tripping over the cat to go buy rope ;) I know all to well about being in a hurry. Not sure why we are mums are all so frantic. Hope the cat allowed you to stop and sit for awhile. Coming from SITS Comment Love Tribes.
ReplyDeleteHe sure did. If only so I could catch my breath!
ReplyDeleteBy prioritizing and limiting my to do list. So many unplanned things happen, so I try not to over schedule. Life goes by so fast and if I am too rushed, I feel like I am missing out on the lovely little moments that are there each day.
ReplyDeleteI always have something to do, kinda like how I'm suppose to be sleeping now at 3am, here I am, leaving comments on my SITS group ladies' blogs.. yea.. I've lost out on 3 hours of sleep already.. I'll regret it in the morning..
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the price we pay for rushing about! And I often feel it's too high. We should take more time to smell the roses.
